No Confidence. How we got here Part 1.
Hopefully today (Friday) The Observer will help explain what has happened with the No Confidence vote. This doesn't mean they'll let us all know the result (it passed) but why the vote was initiated. For those of you who answered 'because Krauss wanted attention' I've got bad news for you, you're crazy wrong.
Over the last two days I've spent a good five hours talking with members and chairs (the current and a former) of the Faculty Senate Budget Committee (FSBC). This has brought me great insight into how we got to the (largely unknown) situation the university is in today. Unfortunately it's also late. I'm going to hope The Observer gets it right. If they don't I'll be back with some documents, my notes and some analysis to explain.
Exciting, no?

I've read what The Observer has said about it so far. But I would still like to hear what you have to say about it; the more discussion, the better.

Did you read this letter? That helped me feel informed. The Observer article is already available here.

Have you talked to Hundert, Anderson, university VPs, or any university board members?

I have not been able to talk to Hundert, Anderson, VPs or any board members yet. The article gets a lot of what I wanted to say but I'm going to write something soon to detail the discussions I've had.
